Equipment simulators deal

Heavy equipment manufacturer Komatsu has just renewed its technical and licensing agreement for a second five-year period with Immersive Technologies, the world’s largest supplier of surface and underground mining equipment simulators.

This agreement provides Immersive Technologies with exclusive access to Komatsu’s machine technical information and engineering staff, both of which are considered essential to accurately simulate Komatsu’s real machines to the highest level of fidelity for operator training.

With mining equipment increasing in technical sophistication, both Komatsu and Immersive Technologies agreed that by having access to Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) machine technical information, plus the manufacturer’s engineering staff, the simulators will provide the most accurate feel for the real machines.
